Written By toonscribe Date Written Jul 25 2004 Summary There are quite a few negative reviews of this camera that I could not relate to, so I thought I should post my opinion to give balance to the overall ePinion. I got this camera on sale at Office Depot for $20 as a part of the Access Trio LE (which... Strength The Camera works fine, and you can get a great deal on it. Weakness iChatters need cameras to talk to you. May need to punch holes in firewall. Bottom Line A cheap camera that works without problems on a modern computer. The other reviews are outdated, and this cam should give you no problems. Logitech fails again.

Written By mae_lyn Date Written Jun 03 2004 Summary I recently bought the double pack of this camera. I bought it due to the variety of features it has, such as: built in microphone, compatibility with all instant messenger programs, and frame per minute rate (up to 30fpm), and an easy to use still frame... Strength Good hardware, good FPM rate, decent sound with the built in microphone. Weakness Software doesn't work well at all, camera needs specific light conditions to be optimized. Bottom Line Logitech should focus more on their software. They did well with the hardware of this item. I would suggest it to experienced webcam users, but not to a newer user. Talk The Talk

Written By red_star Date Written Feb 20 2004 Summary There is nothing nice I can say about this camera. Is it easy to use? Not in the slightest. Setting the camera up on the computer or the desk is easy. That is about as far as it goes. The software that Logitech gives you installs 6... Strength None that I can think of. Weakness Outdated software, partner company out of business, and much, much, more. Bottom Line I do not recommend this camera to anyone. It is way too much work, for such crappy quality.

Written By blueorbit Date Written Apr 29 2003 Summary Where I bought it: I bought the Quickcam Messenger at a nation-wide computing retail mega-chain for $50.00. Strength Decent picture quality. Decent low light picture quality. Relatively inexpensive. Sturdy design. Weakness Difficult to adjust positioning. Unreliable software package. Must subscribe to SpotLife for browser access. Bottom Line I will be buying another webcam, but I'm going to avoid products by Logitech. That's too bad because I used to really like Logitech. QuickCam Messenger - Hardware: A, Software:D-

Written By pinky_13 Date Written Nov 02 2003 Summary I bought it at OfficeMax for $40. I ran it on a 1.3GHz HP Pavilion 531W Celeron with 384MB ram, integrated video running Win98SE and a 56K dialup connection. (Pitiful, I know, but that's all that's available). The camera itself is rugged, the focus... Strength Great picture quality, framerate, sharpness, contrast, color and very good low-light tolerance Weakness Included software is terrible, default camera settings awful, harsh glare from close lighting Bottom Line Hardware is great, software sucks. Adjusting the settings and downloading the latest drivers is a must. Not good for snapshots, although I am pretty critical :) Save your money.. buy a different cam
